There Are Weaknesses In The Story, But Tourneur Knows How To Generate Atmosphere
Gaby Morlay and André Roanne have spent their careers in the provinces, but now they are a featured act in a new Parisian revue. Then star Suzanne Delvé suggests to Roanne that he come visit her. He demurs because his wife wouldn't like it. Mlle Delvé shrugs, but during the act's dress rehearsal, makes loud comments about Mlle Morlay, and enrages her into shouting that she'll take notes from the director, but others should shut up. Mlle Delvé gets into a huff and insists the act be cut or Mlle Morlay replaced. Later, Roanne goes to her home to make peace.... but Mlle Delvé is dead in her dressing room, killed with the knife from Mlle Morlay's costume. At Mlle Morlay's trial, she is painted as a bad woman who ran away from home at 16, and is not married to Roanne.
Maurice Tourneur's first sound film has a lot of visual fireworks in the first half, with overhead shots of the revue's dancers during dress rehearsals, elaborate costumes, and a camera that follows people around, the MOS sequences covered with crowd noises. Later it settles down into a staid courtroom drama, weakened a bit by the fact that Charles Vanel shows up as Mlle Delvé's husband fresh out of prison, wanting money. This assuredly puts the audience on Mlle Moray's side, but weakens the suspense.
Visually, though, there's nothing to complain about in this movie. Tourneur may have to work harder to get his interesting camerawork in, but the atmosphere of the theater, based on the Casino de Paris, is nicely captured.
